mine does something worse. not scarier, just worse.

he come up to grab the pellet then when he gets a mouthful, he does the fastest 180 ive ever seen an animal do and splashes me with like a gallon of water. it's a real pain in the @$$ to clean up after too. i'llcome home and there's a pool of water under his tank.

Yeah my oscars do this too and it pisses me off because I like to keep my glass perfectly clean, plus it sucks to get wet when you dont want to be wet.
 
i got bitten on the nose by an oscar while leaning over the top cleaning the glass!! bled for ages!! :)
 
My 3.5" tiger already jumps full body out of the tank for his pellets. Almost fell out last time.
 
my oscar used to jump fully out of the water for his food. also my ornate and other oscar both jumped clear out of their bucket during a move!!( at different times)
 
one time one of my friends was sticking her head over her oscars tank and it jumped up and bit her earing!
 
lol :ROFL:

thats pretty funny
i would put some salt in the tank just in case

What a mongrel! My Oscar usually will swim over whenever I come to the tank, and gets crazy when I open the lid. On several occasion's it has grabbed pellets right out of my hand, coming half way out of the water. This time I opened the lid, grabbed the food bag, and it jumped right out of the water, hit me in the chest, and fell straight to the floor flopping. I managed to pin it down, and put it back in the tank. Upon inspection, there isn't even a scale damaged on the fish. Glad he's safely back in the tank, but scared the crap out of me! OSCAR ATTACK!

LOL, wurm..this type of thing could only happen to you..
